Hi -

On setting up a new server, I installed Windows 2003 R2 and ran the SCW to
lock it down as I have many times. However, in this case I installed SP2
before running the Wizard.

When I attempted to run the Wizard, I received an error message saying that
it can only be used on machines running W2K3 SP1. I was able to resolve this
by uninstalling the SCW, then reinstalling it. (I swear that I had earlier
installed SP2 before adding the SCW in Add Windows Components, but maybe not.)

I just wanted to pass this info on in case someone else runs into the
problem, and I am wondering if anyone else HAS seen this. I would consider
this a bug if it happens consistently.

Thanks.
